Despite being the most common primary brain tumor in adults, until recently, the genomics of meningiomas have remained quite understudied. In this chapter we will discuss the early cytogenetic and mutational changes uncovered in meningiomas, from the discovery of the loss of chromosome 22q and the neurofibromatosis-2 (NF2) gene to other non-NF2 driver mutations (KLF4, TRAF7, AKT1, SMO, etc.) discovered using next generation sequencing. We discuss each of these alterations in the context of their clinical significance and conclude the chapter by reviewing recent multiomic studies that have integrated our knowledge of these alterations together to develop novel molecular classifications for meningiomas.
